The last problem on my Strato-Flite has me totally lost. The high score adjustment jack is set for 65,000 and 97,000 and it gives 'same player shoots again' at those scores.
But, with the green (40,000) wire loose (not plugged in to the slots), the game gives free balls at even 1,000 point intervals anywhere in the 40,000 range (41,000 43,000 etc). If I unplug all the adjustment jacks it still gives free balls in the 40,000s only.
This happens for players 1, 3, and 4. On player 2 it gives a free ball at 50,000 only, bypassing the 65,000, 97,000, and all of the 40,000s.
I've looked at the player unit and don't see any loose wires, oddities, or strange added jumper wires. On all players' 10,000 and 1,000 score reel circuit boards there is nothing odd looking or added wires along the edges.
Maybe of note: all of the wire bundles were cut near the Jones plugs (ARRGH) and spliced back sometime in the past. Any ideas? I'm getting better at reading schematics but this has me stumped. I'd be happy to have the free balls work at 41,000, 65,000, and 97,000 on player one and not worry about the other players since I rarely play more than a one-player game.
